Aleksander Michał Sapieha
Aleksander Michał Paweł Sapieha (Template:Langx) of Lis coat of arms (1730[1] in Wysokie – 1793 in Warsaw[2]) was a noble of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Son of Kazimierz Leon Sapieha and Karolina Teresa Radziwiłł, he married Magdalena Agnieszka Sapieżyna in 1757.[3] A protegee of Józef Stanisław Sapieha, he became the Voivode of Polotsk in 1753,[4] Field Lithuanian Hetman from 1762,[5] Grand Lithuanian Chancellor from 1775,[6] marshal of Lithuanian Tribunal in 1789.
He tried to remain neutral in politics but leaned towards the pro-Russian faction; he neither opposed nor support the Confederation of Bar,[7] a member of the Great Sejm he did not openly criticize or support May Constitution of Poland; however, given his subsequent positioning as marshal of the Targowica Confederation, appointed by Russian Empress Catherine the Great, he had an implied opposition to it.
